THERE will be Special Area Plans (RKK) for the PJU1, PJU2, SS (Subang-Sungai Way) and PJS zones in Petaling Jaya.

During the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) full board meeting yesterday, Petaling Jaya mayor Datuk Mohamad Roslan Sakiman announced that the official launch and workshop for the pre-publicity of the plans was scheduled for Oct 21 at the MBPJ Banquet Hall.

He said the Petaling Jaya Local Draft Plan 2 (RTPJ2) was still applicable and that the objection hearing sessions would still take place.

"Even though there is an improvement, more needs to be done"- DATUK MOHAMAD ROSLAN SAKIMAN

The Shah Alam City Council and Subang Jaya Municipal Council have already conducted the objection hearings for their respective draft local plans.

MBPJ assistant town planning director Bakri Salleh said the RTPJ2 was done at the Petaling district level while the special area plans would focus on specific areas in Petaling Jaya.

“They would detail the land usage for individual plots,” Bakri said, adding that both the Special Area Plans and the RTPJ2 would be coordinated.

Commenting on the Clean Zone campaign, Roslan said efforts to turn Section 52 into a model for the rest of the city had not really taken off.

“Even though there is an improvement, more needs to be done,” he said.

The mayor also announced that the MBPJ Aidilfitri Open House would be held on Oct 7, from 3pm to 5pm, at the Petaling Jaya Stadium and the public was welcome to attend the event.
